ColumbiaMen's Silver Ridge Cargo Short

These Columbia shorts are generally absolutely great. The material is lightweight, but sturdy, the fit is good, and the design is outstanding in terms of being suitable for hiking and traveling. The cargo pockets are large and allow for safely carrying whatever you need on a trip, and one has a zipper, which is great. The only problem - as with any Columbia pants and shorts is that they only have even sizes. If your waist is size 33, like mine, then you are out of luck. Having no choice, I bought size 32, which is smaller than what I normally wear. It is OK, but a little tight in the waist. However, size 34 would be huge. My advice: if your waist size is an odd number (31, 33, 35, etc.), buy a size down. DO NOT buy a larger size unless you are in the process of gaining weight.

I rarely write reviews, but these Columbia shorts are high quality, and comfortable & quick-dry materials.The medium size shorts fits me very well and the length is just above the knees.I am medium built at 5 ft-8 in and 140 lbs!good quality at this price!

These shorts have some great aspects. They are lightweight and quick drying. The pockets are a good size.The waistband has some give, but they should have more. They are comfortable while standing, but they get too tight when I sit down.The right cargo pocket has two design flaws. First, it's rotated around so far to the right that you end up sitting on whatever is in it. Second, it's got this oddly placed single Velcro closure; it's only on the left side of the pocket flap and doesn't keep it shut. It's too small and it's only on one side. There should be two and a bit larger, one on each side of the flap or, if you have to have only one, then it should be in the middle and be much bigger.Having said all that, these are still the best cargo shorts I've found. I had gotten some other cargo shorts from Duluth Trading that I liked a couple years ago, but they changed the design and the color choices so now they don't come in black, really show sweat badly, and aren't really quick drying. The original design of those shorts was better than their new one, but these Columbia shorts are much lighter and quicker drying (and cost less).I have looked around at a bunch of other shorts and can't find any better than these Columbia shorts.

Great shorts. They are very well made and lightweight.Warning: they are very true-to-size. Most pants manufactured today are larger than the listed waist. I'm sure they do that on purpose, but just take any pants out of your closet and measure the waist and it will likely be one or two inches larger than the listed size. Not these, they are very true-to-size. Also, the 10L is "regular," per the tag and 12L is "tall."Also, the fit is nice. A lot of shorts are overly baggy and tend to have very wide leg openings. These are akin to straight leg jeans; not skinny and not relaxed, but just in the middle.

If you match a size (I do it in my your local country store) then this shorts are very lightweight and comfortable, I already have 3 pairs and waiting a blue color to come up, I ve used many hiking for hikes and for casual purposes but this one (even though I got a longer version) beats every short I ever hadIt is very breathable in hot summer, dries quickly like a swim suit, looks classy and is very durable during hiking, I climbed rocks, fell on sharp stones with my butt, crawled drunk like animal in streets (this is a bit sad to be honest) but not even a scratch still looks like new

Fits great. Kinda pricey tho.

My husband loves them, great for summer casual wear, lightweight and washes well.

I already have few items, both shorts and longs. The fabric is long lasting and excellent, but the stitching is neither. If found myself loosing items out of zipped pockets, and unexpectedly having over-ventilated crotch over disintegrating stiches.

Amazing shorts that I used on our bicycle tour through Asia

Greaty

tres bien

Atendeu todas as expectativas.

I received the wrong size at first, but a replacement was sent quickly. I fist bought a pair at a Columbia store. I liked them so much that I ordered two more pairs in different colours on Amazon. It is the same product as you would get in store. Great light material. It's perfect for outdoors activies (hiking, camping, etc.). It comes with its own belt. It dries fast. No regrets.
